SoCal probably has the most and cheapest options for Crank Hub replacement shops.

StudioRSR and S5x Performance have specials right now but there are quite a few.

@S55Doctor on IG is probably the cheapest I’ve seen in the country but I believe he does them in his garage.

My vote's for S5X Performance. Cody Nowlin is one of most knowledgeable/experienced - if not THE most - when it comes to our crank hubs. He was able to turn my F80 around the same day. You may want to check with him on his current pricing, but I know he routinely adjusts his prices to beat competitors - the most recent price on FB is $1700.

The owner/tech Cody at S5X Performance has installed hundreds of crankhubs. Always hear positive things from his customers.

I only hear positive things about S5x performance and same-day turnaround, Studio RSR I've been told will tax but it's a pay-once-cry-once type of thing. S55 Doctor no longer works on cars he's on to greater pastures. (IG) @VileM3 is knowledgeable and recently opened up a shop in Van Nuys I believe. Again, he will tax but has quality work. Raskin is another great shop! If you're stage 1 your crank hub is fine. if you're pushing more HP do it.

Hey,

Have you worked with S55Doctor? Is he reliable?

Thanks

I can vouch for Cody at S5x Performance as well. I just got mine done last Saturday, 5 hour turn around and everything’s been perfect. 10/10 would recommend them and nobody else

I heard he used to work for Cody at S5x and has shotty worksmanship, a reason he got fired from there. All hearsay drama on IG but take it as you will

You Cali guys have it made. On the east coast all shops charge ~$4k out the door. That does include the part and taxes but still... If it was just $2000-2,500, I'd have done this years ago.
